Players often have their own views on the managers they’ve worked with.
With numerous managerial changes at Old Trafford in recent years, Harry Maguire has experienced various styles of play at Manchester United.
In a recent interview with Discover+, he pointed out that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn’t receive the recognition he deserved during his tenure.
“Ole was great; I think he was really underappreciated.
“He didn’t get the credit for what he was doing. It seemed like if he was at any other club, he would have been acknowledged more.
“It felt like people were just waiting for him to fail, but he never let that happen. He was a good manager with excellent staff, like Kieran and Carrick, and he excelled at managing his players.”
“Unfortunately, he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved. In that third season, we didn’t perform as well; the team balance was not the same as in the previous two years, but I have great respect for Ole,” Maguire said.
Solskjaer took over after Jose Mourinho and brought a positive change in the club’s culture, even though trophies eluded him during his time.
The Norwegian left Old Trafford as a club legend and is still well-regarded by fans.
What were United’s results during Solskjaer’s management?
Under Solskjaer, United finished in the Premier League‘s top four for two consecutive seasons.
They secured a third-place finish in 2019/20 and came second in 2020/21, marking a period of stability for the club.
This was the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement that United achieved back-to-back top-four finishes.
